Eyepiece Upgrade

Hi All,

I'm finally rediscovering my love of Astronomy after a rather long break. Over the past few months I've pulled out (and dusted off) a 4" Meade reflector I purchased over a decade ago. I like the unit and it seems to work pretty well.

However, I'm curious to see whether I could improve my viewings with some eyepiece upgrades. The unit came with a few - 25mm, 9mm but compared to some of the units I'm reading about these days look pretty basic indeed. Some of my reading suggests that quality eyepieces could make all the difference. I would certainly like to get in a bit closer to some of my sky targets.

Perhaps someone could share a view on this?

Best,

Dave

P.S. Nice to find a website which doesn't assume everyone lives North of the Equator!
